Krell CAST cable


Hi:

I want to build my own CAST cables for Krell.

Has somebody done that?

Can someone guide me?

Which Lemo connector to buy?

I believe CAST only uses 3 out of four contact points in the Lemo connector, but which ones?

What about the shielding scheme?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Flashunlock:

Thanks for the information on connectors.

From your post it seems that you contacted Krell about CAST cable and they did guide you.

I have assembled various RCA and XLR terminated cables before but no experience with Lemo connector. I went to Lemo website and could not find any guide on assembly and termination.

Ok! I understand you logic of using all the four contact points to take out any guess work and damage anything. What about the shielding? How to ground/terminate shield on each Lemo connector? Which contact point the shield will use if it does not terminate to the metal body?

If you have assembled a CAST cable, please guide me in detail.

Regards
